ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - If you have an aging parent, you know how critical it is to get them transportation to and from medical appointments. And now the Local Office on Aging has secured money to help purchase passenger vans for over 4,000 new rides. According to Roanoke LOA President and CEO Ron Boyd, the LOA was recently granted $440,000 through the Virginia Senate Southwest & Southside Appropriations Bill. It is meant to support transportation services with a more environmentally sustainable model that will allow for expanded access to help seniors continue to live independently in Roanoke.
